/* WHAT IT IS */
A preprint server that lives in your social feed. Built on the
AT Protocol. Preprints federate to Bluesky. Endorsements are typed
verbs (verified derivation, reproduced result, checked references)
rather than generic likes. Every paper carries a Trust Passport
across four dimensions: transparency, identity, integrity,
social review.

/* WHO IT IS FOR */
Open to independent researchers without institutional backing.
Sign in with ORCID or did:plc — no endorsement gating.

/* PHILOSOPHY */
If you're not in the field, you can read the explainer tier that
fits your background. Every preprint carries three — school,
undergrad, expert — generated by the backend (Gemini / DeepSeek)
and labelled as such next to the original. The original PDF is
the source of truth; the explainers are scaffolding.

AI-assisted work is welcome under structured disclosure (none /
assistant / co-author / primary, recorded on an
app.openxiv.disclosure AT-proto record). Slop is refused with a
published refusal packet that names the failure mode. Authors are
not banned for a year — work returns for revision.

Built solo. Open to collaboration.
